kopthat Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Well I think it is only 5.1 but I definitely heard and saw things that I missed in the cinema. Main benefit was getting it 2 weeks early, I will buy the 3D Blu ray if and when it is released. Edited April 2, 2016 by kopthat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopthat Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 With the demise of the video store, digital versions of movies seems to be the next progression. It's a shame that they don't contain uncompressed audio let alone HD audio, for most it will adequate for their noise makers. For those that want HD audio or don't have broadband the physical copy is still needed. We have watched the behind the scenes special in full, and as fans just drank it in, no spoilers, but it is friggin awesome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadbean Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 It's good to have a satisfied purchase. iTunes is more than adequate for me with TV shows like Sherlock and Doctor Who. I've purchased BDs in the past just to make up the numbers with various Buy 2, 3 or 4 type deals! In the case of Force Awakens, happy to buy the BD with Disney's Digital Copy Plus, which is the same as a full copy of iTunes HD anyway, provided the price is not too much higher.

blonk Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Target have it available now for $25. They've always price matched in the past. Blonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonNo10 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I purchased it from Target tonight $25. Watched it and I found the audio on the low side and had to turn it up to get it at an acceptable level to enjoy it. Bass never really hits as low or deep as say WOTW but it's not terrible. PQ is excellent. Anyone with the US copy care to comment on the audio side. Edited April 11, 2016 by SimonNo10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAVX Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I might pick this up today. To be honest, I'm more excited about Rogue One. I heard Big-W is cheapest at $20 for BD and $15 for a DVD. For an $5, why would you NOT buy the BD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cevolution Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Anyone with the US copy care to comment on the audio side. I don't own the U.S. disc, however, I can tell you that they are the same without listening to it. The local disc and the U.S. disc have identical specs.
